Abstract

The present invention provides a layer acoustic wave device that is formed without requiring a bonding process to attach a secondary substrate. In particular, the layer acoustic wave device is formed from a substrate, an interdigital transducer created on the substrate, a dielectric layer formed over the interdigital transducer and substrate, and at least one isolation layer formed over the dielectric layer. The at least one isolation layer has sufficient properties to minimize particle displacement on a top surface of the at least one isolation layer. The at least one isolation layer has a greater acoustic impedance than that of the dielectric layer.
